The Perth Mint has released the 2015 Year of the Goat coins, the newest issue in their Australian Lunar coin series. Available now through Panda America, the new 1-oz Silver BU coins celebrate the 2015 Year of the Goat, one of the 12 animals associated with the ancient Chinese lunar calendar. The obverse features the classic Ian Rank Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the year 2015 and country of issue, Australia. In Chinese culture, people born in the Year of the Goat - 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015 - are regarded as team players, private, peaceful, calm, and healthy. The Chinese character for “goat" appears in the design with The Perth Mint's traditional "P" mintmark.
